Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advances in the transient and dynamic modeling of engines and thermodynamic cycles have grown in recent years, making it possible to predict equipment behavior and diagnose failures, even during the early design phase, by condition monitoring or active control. Still, the increasing search for energy storage systems makes the adequate modeling of transient systems essential for power production, as well as heating, cooling and desalinization processes.
Recently, the open source literature has shown a trend of applying deep learning and other types of data-based modeling to take into account aspects that are difficult to model deterministically. These techniques have been used to aid the risk assessment of nuclear plants. In terms of cooling systems, they have been used to keep a constant indoor temperature in a complex ambient environment using an adaptive control.
The main purpose of this Special Issue is to share with researchers and engineers worldwide the main advances in and theoretical results of the prediction of engines and cycles during the transient regime, focusing specifcially on deterministic and data-driven models for the final condition monitoring or optimal control. Internal combustion engines and thermodynamic cycles are welcome, regardless of the final application (power, heating or cooling production).
For this Special Issue, the published papers are expected to provide novel insights into transient modeling and results that will contribute to cleaner and more systems and have the potential todecrease the greenhouse gas emissions of current technologies.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Machines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
